8. Delivery Issues

Lost or Stolen Packages

While we take great care to ensure your package is delivered safely, occasionally packages may be lost or stolen. If your package is marked as delivered but you have not received it, please take the following steps:

  1. Check with Neighbors – Sometimes packages are left with neighbors or in a secure location.

  2. Check Around Your Property – Look in all possible delivery locations, including porches, garages, and side doors.

  3. Contact the Carrier – Contact the carrier directly to inquire about the delivery status.

  4. Contact Us – If you have not received your package after taking these steps, please contact us at clearsky28c@gmail.com or (+84) 386609816. We will work with the carrier to resolve the issue.

Damaged Packages

If your package arrives damaged, please take the following steps:

  1. Document the Damage – Take photos of the damaged packaging and products.

  2. Contact Us – Contact us immediately at clearsky28c@gmail.com or (+84) 386609816 and provide your order number and photos of the damage.

  3. Keep the Original Packaging – Please keep the original packaging and products until we have resolved the issue, as the carrier may require inspection.

Delayed Packages

If your package is delayed, please be patient. Delays can occur due to weather, carrier issues, or customs processing (for international orders). If your package has not arrived within the estimated delivery time frame, please contact us, and we will investigate.

Failed Delivery Attempts

If the carrier attempts to deliver your package but is unsuccessful, they will typically leave a notice with instructions for redelivery or pickup. Please follow the instructions on the notice to arrange for delivery. If you do not claim your package within the carrier’s specified time frame, it may be returned to us. In such cases, you will be responsible for any return shipping fees.

Incorrect Shipping Address

It is your responsibility to provide accurate shipping information at the time of checkout. If you provide an incorrect or incomplete address, the package may be delayed, delivered to the wrong address, or returned to us. If the package is returned to us, you will be responsible for any return shipping fees and may need to pay shipping again to have the package resent.

9. Shipping to PO Boxes and APO/FPO Addresses

PO Boxes

We ship to PO Boxes via USPS. If you have a PO Box address, please select the USPS shipping option during checkout.

APO/FPO Addresses

We proudly ship to APO (Army Post Office) and FPO (Fleet Post Office) addresses for military personnel serving overseas. Please note the following:

  • Shipping Time – Delivery to APO/FPO addresses may take longer than standard domestic shipping due to military mail processing.

10. Holiday Shipping

Holiday Order Deadlines

During the holiday season, we recommend placing your orders early to ensure timely delivery. Holiday shipping deadlines will be posted on our website in advance of major holidays.

Peak Season Delays

During peak seasons, such as the winter holidays, shipping carriers may experience high volumes, which can cause delays. We recommend placing your orders as early as possible and selecting expedited shipping if you need your order by a specific date.

11. Insurance and Signature Requirements

Shipping Insurance

We include shipping insurance on all orders to protect against loss or damage during transit. If your package is lost or damaged, we will work with the carrier to file a claim and ensure you are compensated.

Signature Requirements

For high-value orders, a signature may be required upon delivery. This ensures that your package is not left unattended and reduces the risk of theft. If a signature is required, the carrier will not deliver the package without a signature from someone at the delivery address.

Carrier Liability

While we take every precaution to ensure your package is delivered safely, once the package is handed to the carrier, the carrier assumes liability for the package. We will assist you in filing claims for lost or damaged packages, but the final resolution may depend on the carrier’s policies.
